It does not take long for Apple to be removed from the news after a successful product launch before fans are talking about the next product from the company. This time, it has only been a couple of months since the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have arrived on the market, but that is not stopping the iPhone 7 rumors from gaining some steam each week. Over the last few weeks, the rumors have started to pile up online with just one that is getting most of the attention according to reports.
Apple is reportedly going to be coming up with a new design to change the iPhone up a little bit. Concept images have been posted online that show the new phone with said design. Now that rumors are starting to surround the specs for the device, there is one that stands out dramatically over the rest. The camera on the back side of the device is expected to be able to produce “DSLR quality” photos.
Most consumers would not even know what that actually means, but it does sound like Apple is going to give photographers something to think about the next time they have to upgrade to a new smartphone. Typically, when Apple released a major upgrade, like the iPhone 6, the next step in the process is the model with the “S” in the name that usually includes some sort of software upgrade, but stays generally the same.
Apple is reportedly going to be releasing the iPhone 6S in the spring of next year with the iPhone 7 to follow before the end of the year. This information has been coming from an unnamed source that is familiar with the product supply chain that Apple uses for the iPhone. Apple has claimed that it was going to be moving towards a new “six month timetable” for new smartphone releases and that it is not only to keep up with changing technology, but to have more frequent updates compared to Samsung.
With more mobile carriers trying to lure consumers in with upgrades every 18 months, it pays for a company like Apple to release another smartphone within the 6 month time frame. Since the success of the iPhone 6 models that were released this year, one analysts claims that the company is not investing in major design changes every other year. This could be a good thing for the company, while at the same time the loyal fans might drop way since Apple’s distinct design has been appealing to them since 2007.
